System Split

The 7SR157 Argus is a combined check and system
synchronising relay which can carry out controlled closing of a
circuit breaker using measurements of the line and bus
voltages. The relay will prevent closure of the circuit breaker if
the differences in phase angle, slip frequency or magnitude of
the voltages fall outside prescribed limits.
If the parameters are within limits, the relay will issue an
output which can be used to close the circuit breaker directly
or in conjunction with an auto-reclose scheme.
Housed in a 4U high, size E4 or E6 (Optional IEC61850
model) case, the relay provides instrumentation and fault
data with integrated input and output logic, data logging &
fault reports. Communication access to the relay
functionality is via a front USB port for local PC connection
or rear electrical RS485 port for remote connection &
optional IEC61850 communication through two rear
Ethernet ports (Electrical or Optical).
• Independent check, system synchronising and close
on zero settings.
• Adjustable slip frequency, phase angle, voltage
blocking and Differential voltage blocking.
• Split system detection.
• Configurable dead/live bus and dead/live line voltage
settings, (2 State and 3 State).
• Synchronising bypass logic is provided to connect a
dead line or bus to a live line or bus.
• For manual synchronising the relay includes a
circuit breaker close guard feature, which is used to
prevent the control switch being held closed during
a synchronising operation.

Description of Functionality
25 Line/Bus Undervolts
The undervoltage detector element can block a close output
command if either the line or bus voltages are below the 25
Line U/V / 25 Bus U/V setting value.
25 Voltage Diff
The Differential Voltage Detector Element can block a close
output command if the scalar difference between the line
and bus voltages is greater than the 25 Volt Differential
setting value.
VT Level Mode
Option of 2 State or 3 State, to determine when a voltage is
live or dead:
2 State – Line or Bus voltages are dead until they exceed the
live threshold. The voltages are then live until they drop
below the dead threshold.
3 State - The Line or Bus Voltages are only classed as live
when above the live threshold. When the voltage falls below
the live threshold, the live output is RESET but the Dead
output does not SET until the voltage falls below the Dead
threshold. This is an indeterminate state, where both Live
and Dead outputs have the same value, both are RESET.
25 Voltage Trim
The relay incorporates a Voltage Trim Magnitude feature
and a Voltage Trim Angle feature for both the line and bus
voltages. This allows small adjustments to the input voltages
and phase angles of the relay.
25 System Split Detector
The method used to detect a system split can be selected as
either phase angle or slip frequency. When the selected
condition is exceeded the 25 System Split output is set;
indicating the system is split. A drop-off delay timer 25 Sys-
tem Split Timer is applied to the output, to suppress flicker-
ing.
25 Check Sync
Check Synchronising sets 25 InSyncCS and 25 Check Sync
Close outputs when the Line and Bus voltages are healthy and
synchronised. The phase angle tolerance for being synchro-
nised is set by 25 Check Sync Angle setting. The synchronised
conditions must be held for a minimum time of 25 Check Sync
Timer setting. An optional setting 25 Check Sync Slip may be
applied to limit Slip Frequency.
There are two modes of operation, Auto and Manual.
AUTO: 25 Check Sync Close output is set when the Check
synchronizing conditions are met.
MANUAL: 25 Check Sync Close output is set when Check
synchronizing conditions are met and a manual close com-
mand is received, via Start Check Sync input.
Siemens Protection Devices Limited
Close Guard
If manual closes are required to be carried out via an operator,
the Close Guard feature can be enabled. This issues an alert
message and a general alarm, intended to warn the operator
about initiating a CB close before the relay issues a valid Check
Sync Close signal. This prevents the operator from pre-empting
the relays’ decision.
25 System Synchronising
System Synchronising is triggered by a system split. After a
split, System Sync will wait for Line and Bus phases to rea-
lign, before setting 25 InSyncSS and 25 System Sync Close
outputs. The phase angle tolerance for being synchronised is
set by 25 System Sync Angle setting (for the System Sync
outputs to be set the phase angle between the two voltages
must be decreasing). The slip frequency must not be exces-
sive, within 25 System Sync Slip setting. The synchronised
conditions must be held for a minimum time of 25 System
Sync Timer setting.
There are two modes of operation, Auto and Manual, there is
also a lockout mode.
AUTO: 25 System Sync Close output is set when the Check
synchronizing conditions are met.
MANUAL: 25 System Sync Close output is set when Check
synchronizing conditions are met and a manual close com-
mand is received, via Start Check Sync input.
LOCKOUT: The System Split Lockout output is set when there
is a 25 System Split event.
25 Close On Zero
If the 25 Split Mode is set to COZ and a 25 System Split
occurs, a Close On Zero operation will be activated. Close On
Zero differs from System Sync, by attempting to issue a close
output when phase angle is precisely zero. The phase angle,
slip frequency and CB Close time delay are used to predict
when zero phase angle will occur.
The slip frequency must be less than the 25 COZ Slip Freq
but greater than the 25 Split Slip setting to avoid reversion
to Check Synchronising conditions.
25 Synchronising Bypass
Sync Bypass is triggered for switching operations, which
involve connecting a dead line or bus to a live line or live
bus. For these switching operations the synchronising condi-
tions will not be met, the Sync Bypass setting is required to
bypass the synchronising operations and allow the Bypass
Close output.
74 Close Circuit Supervision
Monitors the open/closed status of up to 3 circuits. If circuit
status is open for a minimum time of 74CCS-n-Delay
setting, Close Circuit Fail and Close Circuit Fail n events are
raised.
60 VT Fail
When the circuit breaker is closed, both voltages should be
either Live or Dead. If this is not true, a VT Fail output is set
(60VTS, to indicate the Line VT has failed and 60VTF-Bus to
indicate the Bus VT has failed). A time delay setting (60VTF
– Line/Bus Delay) suppresses spurious operations during
transient switching conditions.
